University of Washington - Tacoma Reviews

While UWT is not as large as its parent campus, it still offers a lot of opportunities. It is settled in downtown Tacoma, so there are plenty of shops and restaurants to explore. The Glass Art Museum, Tacoma Art Museum, and History Museum are all a short walk away. There is a YMCA on campus as well, with a student center located inside!The location of Union Station also provides an excellent mean of public transportation instead of having to drive to campus every day. But because this is a commuter campus, if you want to do sports, you have to either do them at the YMCA on campus or go to the Seattle campus. The dormitories are a little small, but they house all the students they can. Due to the lesser amount of student housing, there is not much partying that happens on campus. I personally love this, for others, maybe not so much.

I enjoyed my time at UWT, though I only spent one school year there to get a new experience. Definitely a high quality school that is not afraid to show you that they care about you and your education. They offer a very very wide range of resources for just about anything you could want to get into. A nice campus that isn't too big, but not too small. Very easy to navigate and I've met many friendly and kind people who also helped along the way, making friends was incredibly easy there and a great place to get a pretty well balanced and detailed education!

UWT is a great way to start your college experience! Staff and faculty are here to help students become successful. The classes at UWT are a lot smaller than most classes at a larger university which makes your learning experience. Student Engagement on campus plans several events throughout each quarter for incoming or current students to get to know each one another and to net work with those who have the same interests. They know and understand how hard it is to be a student so they organize events to De-stress during mid terms or finals. The university offers a variety of majors and minors the students can choose from as well as services like disability services ans veterans. This campus wants every student to have the best college experience so they also offer study abroad programs for student to travel to other countries and focus on a topic they are interested in learning.
